Carbs every day keep the cravings away!
Serotonin is the body's natural "feel good" chemical. It promotes feelings of calm, wellbeing and satisfaction, and helps us to cope with stress. Studies have shown that many of the starchy foods discouraged by popular diets actually promote serotonin production, which explains why so many of us crave these foods when stressed, and why it is so difficult to stop eating them while dieting. What's more, scientists have found that higher levels of serotonin can actually reduce our appetite, our cravings and our tendency to overeat.
